BioRDF Task: Building a Knowledgebase for Neuroscience • Eric Prud’hommeaux, W3C
BioRDF Introduction • BioRDF participants • The task is lead by Kei Cheung (Yale) • Has approximately 20 participants • BioRDF activities include: • Explore the effectiveness of current tools for making data available as RDF/OWL • Build a life sciences demo that spans from bench to bedside using RDF/OWL to help scientist better understand the value of the Semantic Web • Document our finding to help accelerate the adoption of the Semantic Web by others • BioRDF Publications • A Prototype Knowledge Base for the Life Sciences - http://www.w3.org/TR/hcls-kb/ • Experience with the Conversion of SenseLab Databases to RDF/OWL – http://www.w3.org/TR/hcls-senselab/ • More Information on the group is available at • http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG_BioRDF_Subgroup
Answering Questions • Goals: Get answers to questions posed to a body of collective knowledge in an effective way • Knowledge used: Publicly available databases, and text mining • Strategy: Integrate knowledge using careful modeling, exploiting Semantic Web standards and technologies
Looking for Alzheimer Disease Targets • Signal transduction pathways are considered to be rich in “druggable” targets • CA1 Pyramidal Neurons are known to be particularly damaged in Alzheimer’s disease • Casting a wide net, can we find candidate genes known to be involved in signal transduction and active in Pyramidal Neurons?
